Deion Sanders: ‘Cowboys can’t overcome adversity’

The analysts on the NFL Network and ESPN Radio took turns disparaging the Cowboys after Sunday’s embarrassing 27-7 loss at Seattle.

Deion Sanders said Dallas can’t “overcome adversity” and also shook his head at how Jerry Jones continues to hype a team that hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since the one Sanders helped the team win after the 1995 season.

“We are talking about a .500 team (in 2011),” Sanders said. “Jerry Jones is the best marketing owner in the National Football League. He causes us to believe every year that the Cowboys have an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl, and that is really not that true of a statement.”

Former NFL coach Steve Mariucci seemed fed up with the roller-coaster ways of the Cowboys, who looked like Super Bowl contenders in Week 1 but had all the appearances of a team vying for a high draft pick in Week 2.

“After (the season-opening win over the New York Giants), I thought for sure this is a playoff team,” Mariucci said. “After today, I wonder how many games they are going to win.”

Over at the “Mike and Mike in the Morning Show,” ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski said Jason Garrett has his work cut out for him.

“Obviously, they cannot handle success very well,” Jaworski said, per the Dallas Morning News’ web site. “Until they learn how to handle success, you’re going to have an uneven football team.
